Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reynard" data-source="post: 3713836" data-attributes="member: 467">Not that it will matter in the end.  My local, biweekly group is likely to go for playing 1e, but the other group will follow D&D to 8e if necessary, so despite my reservations I will kind of have to engage in the new edition.  Given cerain circumstances, we are a pretty good lock for playtesting, in fact, so I am likely to experience it sooner rather than later.Here's the thing: I would like 3.x and 4e to provide the same kind of fun that 1e and 2e do (as distinct kinds of fun, by the way -- 1e and 2e are pretty different in everything but the dice).  I want to like the newest, current version of D&D, because I like D&D and I like playing D&D and playing D&D is a whole lot easier if you are playing the current version.  And I do the best I can with what I've got, taking little victories where I can (I am currently running Dragonlance 3.5 and try and slip into combat mode without pulling out the minis as often as possible).So, 4e isn't likely to functionally change anything about the way I game, for real.  But it has had me thinking about it for a few days straight and I am better off for recognizing what I really like.</blockquote>
